Any Windows 10 gurus? Wireless Internet issues....

Driver for the Wireless I presume? How do I roll back the driver?

If you open Device Manager (Right click the Windows logo in the left corner and select Device Manager), Expand the Network Adapters, find your WLAN NIC, right click on it and select Properties, go to the Driver tab, and there's a button there for Roll Back Driver.

Something like this;


ETA: Are these screen grabs ginormous for everyone? If so, I think it's due to my 4K display. I may have to downscale before posting.

Thanks for all the ideas. I'll try to roll back the driver tonight and see if that fixes the problem. I will definitely replace the router soon, but want to try and fix this first.

So it actually didn't give me the option to roll back the driver (that box was grayed out.) It did give me the option to choose another driver so I tried choosing the Microsoft driver. Restarting now.

To the OP’er, if that doesn’t work, take the foil off all of your walls, floors & ceilings. You are only supposed to line your hats.......

Update 01/21/20: After continuing complaints from the wife about poor connectivity to her computer, I went to Comcast and got a new wireless router.

All problems solved including random connect/disconnect issues and wireless printer issues. They also upgraded us from 75MPBS to 100MBPS for $4 less a month than what we had.

Currently "renting" a wireless router but if I can bring it back before my next billing cycle they won't charge me for it. So who can recommend a good wireless router for Comcast/Xfinity? And where's the best place to buy? Best Buy or Micro Center?

The rectangle tower cable modem is a very good router and a very good wifi access point. I have my own a modem, a motorola/arris surfboard all in one wifi router. It's going on 5 years old and still ticking.

Anyone experience a similar issue to this with a Samsung phone? I have an S8 that does the same thing. All other devices in the house - no problem. Phone - shows full wifi signal, and that it is connected but no wifi access

The first (replacement) S8 I got had this issue. It was a FU phone.

1st S8 - black screen within 30 days.
2nd S8 - no internet (some wifi security bug in the hardware) would connect to the WiFi but could not get to the internet.
3rd S8 - 2 years now, so far so good.

Fortunately, the first 2 were so new that they replaced without too much trouble and for no charge (as one would expect).
